Tavizon was evaluated in April of 2025 by national recruiting analyst Greg Biggins.

“He can manhandle opposing lineman at the high school level and routinely runs right through an opposing tackle on his way to the quarterback. He shows good burst getting off the ball, has heavy hands and can either walk back an opposing tackle or simply toss and disengage with ease,” Biggins said. “He’s stout in run support and used his length to set the edge, find the ball carrier and make the play.”

National recruiting reporter Adam Gorney of Rivals said that he had just seen Tavizon this past weekend and noted that he already has a college-ready body frame.

Another Edge Rusher in Oregon's 2026 Recruiting Class

Prince Tavizon is the second edge rusher Oregon has received a commitment from in the class of 2026. The other is three-star edge rusher Dutch Horisk. Horisk has been committed to Oregon since August of 2024.

The Oregon Ducks are on the lower end of amount of commitments compared to the rest of the teams ranked in the top 20 for the 2026 recruiting class. Furthermore, no other team in the top 20 has less than 16 commits while Oregon has 12.

The top of these class rankings is made up of teams that have more than double of Oregon. Here are the top four 20-26 classes according to 247Sports and how many commits these schools have received.

No. 1: USC Trojans, 31 commits

No. 2: Georgia Bulldogs, 28 commits

No. 3: Texas A&M Aggies, 25 commits

No. 4: Notre Dame Fighting Irish, 26 commits

Oregon's 2025 recruiting class has 16 enrollees, which is significantly less than the year prior in 2024 when they had 26 enrollees. What is the reason for this trend?

One explanation is the use of the transfer portal. The Ducks have been very active in the portal the last couple seasons, with many of their best players coming from other schools. This includes the quarterback position. All of Dan Lanning's starting quarterbacks at Oregon started their college football careers at different schools; Bo Nix at Auburn, Dillon Gabriel at UCF and Oklahoma, and now Dante Moore at UCLA.
